Spring will officially start....now.

I know that the first day of spring
Was at least a month ago
But it really seemed to cold
To celebrate, you know?
So we'll get to that tonight
Even if a month late
Now at least it FEELS like spring
The set will start at eight.

When I was a kid, we used to go visit the relatives in Canada all the time. There's a familial trait: putting vast distances between ourselves and our family. My folks put the continental United States between them and theirs; my grandparents pulled the same stunt with the Atlantic Ocean. I was supposed to move to Australia or something, but the person I was going to do that with turned out to be really sucky. I may still go, but I'm also realizing that it was more that sucky person that wanted to run away from everything.
